Four decades after it lit up college radio and launched R.E.M.’s remarkable career, Radio Free Europe is sending out a brand-new signal. The Radio Free Europe 2025 EP is available on a limited-edition 10-inch pressing on orange vinyl will be released September 12th.
Overseen by original producer Mitch Easter — who mixed the band's very first recording of “Radio Free Europe” back in 1981 — the EP opens with a never-before-released 2025 remix by GRAMMY®-winner Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol, Taylor Swift, The Killers). Lee, who produced R.E.M.’s final two studio albums, Accelerate and Collapse Into Now, gives the track a fresh take, while staying true to its indie-rock DNA. The 5-track set also features rarities from 1981—including the Original Hib-Tone Single mix of "Radio Free Europe," B-side "Sitting Still," plus demos “Wh. Tornado” and “Radio Free Dub".
